Q: Images won't import in Photos
I just purchased a MacBook Air and am having some serious issues moving my photos from my previous iPhoto to the new Photos app. First I tried exporting my 55GB iPhoto library and then importing it into Photos. It wouldn't import - it would get to 8% in Photos and then stall and a weird empty dialog box would pop up. I got frustrated and decided to just forgo my iPhoto albums I've been putting together for the past 12 years and just copy all the image files over instead of the actual iPhoto library. However, only about 10% of my photos would import into Photos. The others say they are "unreadable files" - reason: "unable to get metadata" -- HELP!!
Previously I was using iPhoto '11 v9.1 on a Macbook Pro from 2009 running OS X 10.6.8. Currently I'm using Photos v1.2 and OS X El Capitan 10.11.1
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
